[Verse 1]
And so begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting

[Chorus]
And I must learn to live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow

[Verse 2]
Camping on the edge of your city I wait
Hoping someday you might see beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling, hard but not real
Like the bars that cage you within yourself

[Chorus]
And I must learn to live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow

[Verse 3]
Then perhaps it is I who is trapped by illusion
For the first time in quite awhile I doubt myself
All of thesе words are like any other words
Only еchos of shadows within ourselves

[Chorus]
And I must learn to live without you now
I must learn to give only part somehow
[Verse 4]
Somehow all the cages must and shall be set aside
They will only keep us from the knowing
Actors and stages now fall before the truth
And the love shared between us remains a'growing

[Chorus]
And I will learn to live without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part somehow

[Verse 5]
Would you believe at the way things are working out?
I was deceived when she told me she cared
Don't you believe at the way things are working out
I was deceived when she told me she cared
What did she mean when she told me she loved me?
Told me to go leave her struggling there

[Bridge]
Hold if you just hold on tight
Never ever say goodnight
Hold on, if you just hold on it'll be right

[Verse 6]
Was she relieved? No she wasn't
She worried some more then she called me to say
"I don't believe we can never be lovers again yes I'm sure that's the price I must pay"
[Bridge]
Hold if you just hold on tight
Never ever say goodnight
Hold on, if you just hold on it'll be right

Help me please help me
My woman is crazy
You see half her loves me, the other half raves
If I just hold if I just hold on tight
Never ever say goodnight
Hold on, if you just hold on it'll be right
Hold, If i just hold on tight
Never ever say goodnight
Hold on, if I just hold on it'll be right
